What The Potter Kids Should Do Next

We use our magic crystal ball to see what their future holds…


With The Half-Blood Prince out this week, and Deathly Hallows filming, the sand has nearly run out of Harry Potter's hourglass.

So what will the various young actors and actresses do next? We took a look at a few from various movies and tried to predict their future...



Daniel Radcliffe

Role: Harry Potter

Off-Potter Work: Radcliffe’s tried to make the most of his time between HP films. He’s notched up one movie – December Boys – but has become better known for stripping off on stage.

His part in Equus in London and New York was a marked departure from his usual status as the goggly-eyed boy wizard.

Horse mutilation? Bumping uglies with sexy ladies? Harry would never have approved. Well, about the horse mutilation, anyway.

In The Future? Considering Equus was a hit for Anthony Hopkins on stage back in the 1970s and Richard Burton took the role in the film version, Radcliffe could do worse than try to emulate their careers.

And since his turn in the theatre was so well received, he could tie that in to Hollywood’s love of remakes and play his character – Alan Strang – in a new cinematic take on the story, as a solid first step.

It’d be a huge leap away from his Potter years and firmly establish him as a mature actor. Just don't let him do a cowboy film. Too many horses.

Next: Emma Watson

      I really hope RPattz takes your advice. It's a genius one, you know.

      When Hollywood makes a movie about U2 (or a Spinal-Tap-style spoof of U2, which is more likely), Radcliffe should definitely be given the Bono role.

      And couldn't you see Grint, Michael Cera and Jon Heder playing three brothers in an Apatow or Farrelly Brothers comedy?
